Integrated Biometrics is proud to have been able to support ID4Africa 2016 in Kigali, Rwanda through sponsorship and exhibition of our industry-leading mobile fingerprint scanners. This year’s version of the annual event attracted a record number of delegates from government identity authorities, technology producers, and development agencies looking to leverage biometric technologies to advance social and economic growth. The combined Exposition and Forum format created numerous opportunities for interaction among identity authorities, development agencies, and solution providers.

Q&A: Dr. Joseph Atick – The history of biometrics in Africa is unique, as is its future. As Integrated Biometrics prepares to actively participate in this month’s ID4Africa conference, we caught up with one of the event’s founders, Dr. Joseph Atick, Executive Chairman, ID4Africa & Identity Counsel. Dr. Atick is an identity and biometrics pioneer, and trusted adviser and counsel to governments and international development agencies, helping the world adopt identity technology responsibly and for the common good.

Mobile Biometrics Use Cases – Governments, social institutions, law enforcement, military, and commercial entities across the world are discovering that Integrated Biometrics’ products are more ideal for mobile environments than silicon or traditional optical sensors. The different ways our enrollment and verification solutions for electronic devices are being used are different and impressive.
